<title>Description</title>
<para>This file is used to define zones in terms of subnets and/or
individual IP addresses. Most simple setups don't need to (should not)
place anything in this file.</para>
<para>The order of entries in this file is not significant in determining
zone composition. Rather, the order that the zones are defined in
shorewall-zones(5) determines the order in which the records in this file
are interpreted.</para>
<warning>
<para>The only time that you need this file is when you have more than
one zone connected through a single interface.</para>
</warning>
<warning>
<para>If you have an entry for a zone and interface in
shorewall-interfaces(5) then do not include any entries in this file for
that same (zone, interface) pair.</para>
</warning>
<para>The columns in the file are as follows.</para>
<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
<term><emphasis role="bold">ZONE</emphasis>
<emphasis>zone-name</emphasis></term>
<listitem>
<para>The name of a zone defined in shorewall-zones(5). You may not
list the firewall zone in this column.</para>

<listitem>
<para>The name of an interface defined in the
shorewall-interfaces(5) file followed by a colon (":") and a
comma-separated list whose elements are either:</para>
<orderedlist numeration="loweralpha">
<listitem>
<para>The IP address of a host.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>A network in CIDR format.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>An IP address range of the form
<emphasis>low.address</emphasis>-<emphasis>high.address</emphasis>.
Your kernel and iptables must have iprange match support.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>A physical <emphasis>bridge-port</emphasis> name; only
allowed when the interface names a bridge created by the
<command>brctl(8) addbr</command> command. This port must not be
defined in shorewall-interfaces(5) and may be optionally
followed by a colon (":") and a host or network IP or a range.
See <ulink
url="http://www.shorewall.net/bridge.html">http://www.shorewall.net/bridge.html</ulink>
for details. Specifying a physical port name requires that you
have BRIDGING=Yes in shorewall.conf(5).</para>

<varlistentry>
<term>OPTIONS (Optional) — [<emphasis>option</emphasis>[<emphasis
role="bold">,</emphasis><emphasis>option</emphasis>]...]</term>
<listitem>
<para>A comma-separated list of options from the following list. The
order in which you list the options is not significant but the list
should have no embedded white space.</para>
<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
<term><emphasis role="bold">maclist</emphasis></term>
<listitem>
<para>Connection requests from these hosts are compared
against the contents of shorewall-maclist(5). If this option
is specified, the interface must be an ethernet NIC or
equivalent and must be up before Shorewall is started.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><emphasis role="bold">routeback</emphasis></term>
<listitem>
<para>Shorewall should set up the infrastructure to pass
packets from this/these address(es) back to themselves. This
is necessary if hosts in this group use the services of a
transparent proxy that is a member of the group or if DNAT is
used to send requests originating from this group to a server
in the group.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><emphasis role="bold">blacklist</emphasis></term>
<listitem>
<para>This option only makes sense for ports on a
bridge.</para>
<para>Check packets arriving on this port against the
shorewall-blacklist(5) file.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><emphasis role="bold">tcpflags</emphasis></term>
<listitem>
<para>Packets arriving from these hosts are checked for
certain illegal combinations of TCP flags. Packets found to
have such a combination of flags are handled according to the
setting of TCP_FLAGS_DISPOSITION after having been logged
according to the setting of TCP_FLAGS_LOG_LEVEL.</para>
</listitem>

<listitem>
<para>This option only makes sense for ports on a
bridge.</para>
<para>Filter packets for smurfs (packets with a broadcast
address as the source).</para>
<para>Smurfs will be optionally logged based on the setting of
SMURF_LOG_LEVEL in shorewall.conf(5). After logging, the
packets are dropped.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><emphasis role="bold">ipsec</emphasis></term>
<listitem>
<para>The zone is accessed via a kernel 2.6 ipsec SA. Note
that if the zone named in the ZONE column is specified as an
IPSEC zone in the shorewall-zones(5) file then you do NOT need
to specify the 'ipsec' option here.</para>
